He needs more air so the receivers can adjust. Wallace doesn&#39;t have the best hands or the best talent at adjusting to tough throws. Practice would help. Do they work on this during the week? Apparently not. You do play as you practice. Tannehill is very effective rolling out in both directions. I don&#39;t see plays intentionally designed for it. I don&#39;t believe Tannehill has been taught to throw long. He is very accurate over the middle on short and intermediate routes. I&#39;m not sure Wallace can run a route effectively (i.e Hartline,Welker) unless its a straight line and I recall some long balls that hit his chest and fell through his hands. It is hard to throw deep when you have no time in the pocket. My two cents.</p>Boomer B commented on 'Mike Wallace calls it like it is'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2019b01663a3a970c2013-11-20T22:46:16Z2013-11-20T22:46:16ZBoomer BSorry to bust the tannehill hate bubble but the blame goes to the design of the plays by our offensive...<p>Sorry to bust the tannehill hate bubble but the blame goes to the design of the plays by our offensive coordinator, the timing is all off on the deep balls.

Throwing deep balls and out routes are two different things. A deep ball requires arm strength and grip. Grip comes from hand size, which is important and measured during the combine, tough guy. I bet you wouldn&#39;t call me an idiot to my face. Tanny&#39;s hands were measured as small during the combine. </p>jmoney78 commented on 'Mike Wallace calls it like it is'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2019b01652b8a970c2013-11-20T20:22:37Z2013-11-20T20:30:43Zjmoney78These guys need to spend more time together before and after practice.

If Tannehill and Wallace want to be considered great then they need to put the work in.

<p>What are talking about. The outs that Tannehill throws are lasers. Not every QB can make them. Tannehill does on a regular basis. That pass requires &quot;strength and grip&quot;.

He&#39;s that good just yet. He simply cannot throw the deep pass and that isn&#39;t something you develop. He&#39;ll never be able to throw that. His hands are suboptimal in size, which has a significant effect on throwing a pass that requires strength and grip. </p>Bobby Peru commented on 'Mike Wallace calls it like it is'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2019b0165e1a6970d2013-11-20T20:10:17Z2013-11-20T20:30:44ZBobby PeruWhy does everything have to be made into a controversy?

Vernon and Misi should be our ILB&#39;s, they are better that what we have there. Ellerbee and Wheeling miss way to many tackles.

With that said, Wallace should get that smug look off his face and eliminate the negative body language when the ball doesn&#39;t come his way until he starts to catch the shorter passes that hit him in the numbers, block downfield and do more of the little things that would help him to be considered an elite receiver.</p>Boo commented on 'Mike Wallace calls it like it is'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2019b0162edfd970b2013-11-20T15:31:58Z2013-11-20T15:31:58ZBooWhy does Hartline ALWAYS play left side and Wallace ALWAYS play right??

Play him left, right,in the freakin&#39; slot, motion him out of the backfield pre-snap, ANYTHING! Stop being so predictable Mike Sherman. Defenses can key in on Wallace after the first couple of series because they know where he&#39;s going to line up and therefore the safeties and nickle backs can adjust easily. But if you move him around a little it forces defenses to go outside the box and that&#39;s when you catch them slipping.</p>
<p>Even I know that and I&#39;m just a little league football coach! If I have a talented 12 year-old player I move him to WR, RB and sometimes wing-back. Why doesn&#39;t Sherman and Philbin see this? Watch Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, etc.. They don&#39;t always lineup in the same spot. Hell, watch Steve Smith this weekend against the Dolphins. He&#39;s plays everywhere and he&#39;s 37 freakin&#39; years old.</p>
<p>SHERMAN needs to stop being so stubborn and stop thinking that he&#39;s the end-all offensive know-it-all. MOVE WALLACE AROUND and stop making it easy for the opposing defenses!</p>
<p>Also: I&#39;m tired of seeing T-Hill underthrow Wallace on deep balls. What was mini-camp for if not to get this right?!<br />

In spring of 2003 I was driving in Boston listening to local sports radio. One host is saying Brady will never be elite because he can&#39;t accurately throw the deep ball. The second says it&#39;s something he needs to learn. The first comes back loudly that it&#39;s a natural talent and can&#39;t be developed. Surely an expert like so many on here.<br />
It wouldn&#39;t hurt if Wallace could learn to high point the ball or walk back into a defender who is facing away from the ball for an interference call. Definitely a one trick pony w/average hands that doesn&#39;t seem intent on improving his skill base. He&#39;d rather pout if the ball isn&#39;t lined up for a perfect basket catch.</p>stillhardcoredolphinsfan commented on 'Mike Wallace calls it like it is'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2019b015e3011970c2013-11-20T07:10:02Z2013-11-20T07:10:02ZstillhardcoredolphinsfanFinsunderworldunited: I watched Brady lock on to his receiver on more than a couple of occasions.

A point very wel made. This, also is a quality that our boy needs to develope. This can be coached into a QB. Some can get it and some can not. Seldom do college QBs get this. <br />
If you will look back at Nick Foles and his film that is obtainable from our limited resources; you will see that he has developed the ability to look off DBs, throw pump fakes, and throw his receivers open. He was a later round pick because of his low delivery, if I recall. I have been impressed with his development. I think much of this is a credit to Andy Reid. He is an excellent QB coach. <br />

The deep routes are not developing because of the protection breaking down too quickly.

Wallace has become complacent with his routes and not ready to challenge for the ball when thrown. <br />
The QB seems to be restricted from scrambling. I know he should, in most situations step up in the pocket to provide time for later routes. In my observations, there is no way this can happen because the middle of the line is collapsing faster than the outside. <br />
I say, in order to get an accurate assessment of our skilled personnel, improvisation should be more allowed and even more influenced. <br />
Also with the recent achievement by the OL, our entire OL should be under scrutiny--including Pouncy. <br />
Also, Tannyhill needs to get the ball out in front of the deep receiver. Speed is much less effective when it is forced to slow down. I have yet to see Wallace under thrown. </p>TruthhurTs commented on 'Mike Wallace calls it like it is'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2019b015d5fd9970c2013-11-20T05:29:10Z2013-11-20T05:29:10ZTruthhurTsPlease read my post above over and over until it sinks in.

Every now and then, he&#39;ll call for a Reverse run with Mike. That&#39;s about it. Ok, we did see a WR Screen a couple of times. It worked the first time, but they were ready for it the next, so Sherman decided it wasn&#39;t a good play I guess. The rest of the problem is more on Tannehill than Wallace. Yes, Mike sometimes takes a play off (most WR&#39;s do, especially if all they&#39;ve been running is Go Routes) and sometimes his routes aren&#39;t all that sharp, but under-throwing, over-throwing, and inaccuracy is the fault of the QB, not the receiver. They just aren&#39;t on the same page! Maybe next year (if they&#39;re still both on the team), they can work this problem out. Maybe, this is Tannehill&#39;s &quot;sophomore slump&quot;...<br />

However, he has got to get better at the deep ball. He is too used to having to rush and check down. He has a strong arm so I don&#39;t how this hasn&#39;t been corrected by now. He also needs to tuck the ball and take the 7 to 8 yards that is often there and give the defense something else to worry about. He did hit Hartline in perfect stride for a deep ball in the Cleveland game, but has yet to adjust to Wallace speed. The best one was probably the audible when he saw single coverage in the Bengal game that would have been the game winner if not for the PI.

<p> Mike Wallace is NOT the problem in Miami, and neither is Ryan Tannehill. </p>
<p> Beating the &quot;Dead Horse&quot; known as Wallace&#39;s contract numbers is a waste of good reporting space. WHO CARES how much Wallace makes? DO YOU PAY HIM??? How much better can Ryan Tannehill be? WE DON&#39;T KNOW.... half the time he&#39;s looking at 4 guy&#39;s getting ready to hammer him...<br />
Armando seems to have become a TRUE DRAMA TOSSER... Which in all seriousness is not especially new for Armando this season. <br />
See.... Here&#39;s the thing.... In 2011 Miami drafted Mike Pouncey with the 15th overall selection. When Miami did that (draft a top 3 NFL center) Armando (and a BUNCH of fans) nearly lost his mind. I think it took at LEAST 3 months before he&#39;d stop harping on it. And even though fans won&#39;t admit to whining about O-line draft picks in the middle of all this... We do know that Pouncey has been nothing short of great. Ireland then chose Martin in the 2nd round of 2012. Once again, Ireland doing what his scouts and coaches thought would be the best move on an offensive line that was nearing a major issue of concern with the health issues and ridiculous expectations concerning salary and contract length they knew Long was seeking. This past year the Dolphins drafted Dallas Thomas in the 3rd. Good school, good conference, will likely be a good player but needs development. The team ALSO brought in lower picks across the line and free agents including UN-drafted guys. </p>
<p>IT AIN&#39;T LIKE THEY&#39;VE IGNORED THE O-Line PROBLEM...</p>
<p> NO ONE expects a O-Line player to go Bonzo and run off home to mommy and daddy whining about someone beating them up... Martin blew every single long held and predetermined way of dealing with conflict on the job... If you have an issue with a fellow employee, start by talking to him/her... IF the problem persists or they become agitated about you confronting them.. STOP... Then go to (in this order (if they exist)... Your immediate supervisor then department supervisor, a manager, a regional manager, the owner&quot;.... Sure, there are different positions in every sort of company including an NFL team... But the process remains unchanged... Martin skipped SO MANY LEVELS of sorting his issues that considering this anything short of a &quot;set up&quot; by the union or His own lawyer mommy and daddy makes you look a damned fool.... Martin is a BRAINIAC.... HE KNEW BETTER.... He isn&#39;t some guy who got a scholarship by being huge and strong and who took &quot;Underwater BB Stacking or Basket Weaving&quot; as a major while his NFL career was being crafted in NCAA football... MARTIN IS NO PROJECTS KID MADE GOOD... Some big dumb bastard who didn&#39;t know or understand what to do.... Martin is a conniving, underhanded fat rat who threw a monkey wrench right into Miami season... It all happened with some sort of planned end in mind...</p>
<p> Is it a Union Ploy?...Perhaps a &quot;set up&quot; to create a way for players to walk on contracts and leave teams and cities they are not happy in? WHO KNOWS? Is it just a money grab by his elitist liberal parents..? Taking a huge slice of NFL pie to throw at they&#39;re collective &quot;Liberal Guilt?&quot;.... WHO KNOWS...?</p>
<p> One thing is DAMNED SURE... Where there are $$BILLIONS$$... there are Crooked MOFO&#39;s like Martin and his mommy and daddy.... Where a Union wants control or power... There are corruptible people and corrupt measures being taken.... And where there are 6&#39;6&quot; 300lb NFL Offensive Tackles who REALLY WANT TO PLAY.... There is NO ONE who runs home to mommy &amp; daddy because they getting &quot;Bullied.&quot;</p>
<p> If you believe Martin and his room full of lawyers PLUS mommy &amp; daddy.... Your an IDIOT... and don&#39;t need to be an NFL fan... Perhaps Dog shows are a better choice for you..? </p>FROM ESPN commented on 'Mike Wallace calls it like it is'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2019b015d8475970d2013-11-20T04:00:36Z2013-11-20T04:00:36ZFROM ESPNFROM ESPN According to the report, Incognito would sometimes dress in garb from the staff member's culture and make profane...<p>FROM ESPN</p>
<p>According to the report, Incognito would sometimes dress in garb from the staff member&#39;s culture and make profane jokes about that culture, making the staff member uncomfortable.<br />
<br />
A Dolphins spokesman did not immediately respond to the Post&#39;s request for comment.<br />
<br />
This is the latest unflattering news to surface about Incognito, who was suspended indefinitely by the Dolphins on Nov. 3 for conduct detrimental to the team amid accusations he bullied and used racially charged terms against fellow lineman Jonathan Martin.<br />
<br />
The NFL is investigating whether Incognito harassed or bullied Martin and whether their teammates and the organization mishandled the situation. This week, Dolphins players are meeting with NFL investigators regarding the bullying scandal.<br />
<br />
Incognito has filed a non-football injury grievance against the club, challenging his status as indefinitely suspended for conduct detrimental to the team. On Monday, the Dolphins requested a delay for Incognito&#39;s grievance hearing, which is scheduled for Thursday, according to sources.<br />
<br />
Also, a Washington lawyer retained by the NFLPA is launching a separate investigation into issues of workplace safety with the Dolphins, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA Today Sports on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
According to the report, Richard Smith -- the NFLPA&#39;s lead outside counsel during the New Orleans Saints bounty investigation --- intends to interview witnesses and examine team management&#39;s role in alleged abuse that led to Martin&#39;s departure from the Dolphins.<br />
